79 FR 59448 - Maintenance of and Access to Records Pertaining to Individuals

This rule is effective on October 2, 2014. Comment Closing Date: Comments on the revised Appendix are due on November 3, 2014.

49 CFR Part 10

Summary

This rule conforms DOT's regulations on Maintenance of and Access to Records Pertaining to Individuals to the applicable System of Records Notices (SORNs) and current DOT practice. This rule adds the General Investigation Records System to the list of DOT Privacy Act Systems of Records that are exempt from one or more provisions of the Privacy Act. DOT also exempts the Personnel Security Record System from additional provisions of the Privacy Act, as well as correcting the identification number for that System. These exemptions were initially established in 1975; however, a 1980 rulemaking accidentally omitted these exemptions. These changes are effective immediately, though DOT invites public comment.
